How to Create a Successful Sales Funnel for Your Merchandise Website

The Problem: Low Conversion Rates

Major of online business seller struggle with converting visitors into paying customers. You might be having a lot of traffic to your website, but if those website visitors aren’t making purchases then your efforts are not paying you and that actually causes low conversion rates?

Lack of user Engagement: Visitors come to your site, but they don’t find your products interesting enough to look around or stay for longer time.

Weak Incentives: visitors see your products, but there is no any strong enough reason for them to buy. They might think, “Why should I buy this now?”

Poor Follow Up: This can be the strongest reason for low conversion after people visit your website once, they don’t hear from you again. Without any reminders, they forget about your site and don’t come back to buy anything.

What is the Solution?

So, you can buy one of the books from the 1999 The Mummy at the upcoming March 2024 Propstore auction.

From the listing for Lot #250:

The heavy book is primarily made of resin finished in gold paint to resemble solid gold, and features several intentionally tarnished bronze components. The book's embellished metal spine displays 12 individual strands attached to each internal page. Designed to hold the front cover in place, four metal vulture-like clasps are inserted into the scarab emblems and are adjoined to uniquely designed hinges. Located within the book are 12 resin tablet pages covered in ornate hieroglyph detailing. To open the book, the circular mechanical emblem on the cover must be twisted in an anticlockwise direction, which causes the two clasps on the right side to pop up. To close the book, the two clasps should be pushed down into their corresponding slots and held. The emblem should then be turned clockwise, causing the locks to fix back into place. Intentionally distressed for the production, there are some small chips on the cover. Dimensions: 14.5" x 14.5" x 4.75" (37 cm x 37 cm x 12 cm) Estimate: $50,000 - 100,000

The clasps and lock mechanism are fully functional. BYO key, though.

Doe Keychain :D

Hi im logging back in sooner than planned cuz look who finally arrived!!! Her!!!

I only ordered one sample to make sure she'd look good and she does so I wanna take a poll of how many people would buy so I can order a good amount

She's going to be priced at $12.00 (not including shipping); 3 inches tall, with a plain silver hook (like the poptart keychains Ell sold if any of yall got one of those)

Also the photos aren't 100% accurate cuz the sample is smaller than the order is gonna be, but the image is gonna be the same

honestly the worst part about almost getting scammed out of £300 today isn't that i nearly fell for Scam Likely's Book of Tricks but that i had to carry this stupid heavy ass box all the way to the post office to find out how much it'd cost to ship before i realized i was being bamboozled and had to drag it back home again. while gay.
